It was working yesterday and hasn't been working today, so points to potentially server-side issues?
It started working here again as well. I did nothing, so it probably was a serverside problem.
I might have suffered from something similar on my MBA 2017 just a while ago. Yesterday evening I had no issues with sleep and wake. Today morning, I distinctly remember I had it switched on and left it for some work. When I came back, the computer was unresponsive as if it was shut down. Had to press the power button and it behaved like it is restarting, complete with the Apple logo. Made me doubt myself if I had really booted the computer before I left, or had I just opened the lid and had not started it before I went out?!
Now, after it restarted, system opened the Photos app. So clearly, I would have switched it on and opened Photos app (to give it time to sync since it is not syncing at the moment) before leaving the computer.
The computer is trying to play mind games here.
Hope this resolves with the next beta.

I have 2016 MBP no Touch Bar, have beta 2 running. I skipped beta 3 but now beta 4 is not showing up on my OTA system preference panel? Beta 3 was showing up but I just didn't install it. But now beta 4 is out, I says no update is available. tried both developer and public beta profile, but no luck.
Is that a bug for beta 2 or is there someway to try to get beta 4 to show up again.

Mine wouldn't wake this morning, just a black screen.
Force started and it's been on the island screen with a full progress bar for over ten minutes.
Going to try another force shut down and start.

yeah I am facing the sleep-wake issues too. Unreliable wake up from sleep at the moment.
This happens with my 2017 iMac on Mojave 10.14.5. Not often, but at least 3-4 times in 3 months.
My Sims 4 game running via Origin no longer works sad times I hope this gets fixed as I paid good money for this game haha

Hi I just started a thread and attached screenshots from Console, does it look the same on your Mac? Anything we could do about it?
It’s impossible to extract .zip files in this beta. The progress bar just hangs at the end and I eventually must force quit. No files are expanded. I'm referring to macOS own stock app for extracting .zip files.
I tried a lot of different .zip files but it's the same every time. Definitely a bug.

I hate this iCloud issue. I have my desktop sync on iCloud and when I delete a file, a few days after it’s there again on my desktop.
I haven't installed the new beta yet, I am away from my Time Machine backup, can't take the risk, well be back soon!
Something to work with for the "wake from sleep" issue.
I have observed that if you put the machine to sleep manually, it wakes reliably and as expected, even after hours. So this is some bug with automatic sleep.
I will file a feedback with Apple now.

I have noticed the same “work around”. Only problem is if someone (like my wife) accidentally hits the mouse and it wakes up.
You got a response from Apple !!!?Guess we’re getting a fix for storage issue when upgrading.
Yeah sometimes
Also, got a response from Apple about missing back to search button on Music app
I seem to have a couple of problems that not many others have (remember the doc telling me that once!!) or, at least, I can't see here.
First, I don't seem to be able to shut down my iMac. I get as far as the Catalina image with not desktop showing, but it goes no further. I have to force quit with the power button.
The other problem seems to be that I can not load any new apps or updates to most existing ones. I get the message
"can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software" when I try to instal.
I assume others are experiencing these problems. Any workarounds / solutions?
Cheers....Stuart

No. The guy posts some ancient screenshot that is a few generations of macOS removed from what iCloud settings are currently, let alone in Catalina, which is newer still.
At least you guys can upgrade to Dev Beta 4/Public Beta 3. I get the ol' dreaded Prohibitory Sign whenever I try to upgrade from DB3 to DB4. Fortunately, I can boot back into DB3 by holding Option during a reboot. I've tried this multiple times and have searched high and low for an answer online. I'll just wait for DB5 at this point. DB4 sounds like a real mess judging from posts here and on Reddit.
I haven't posted ancient screenshots I am running Catalina that is where the screenshot is from internet accounts where the option to turn off iCloud has been around since macOS 9
